“Friends walk together. Friends go the distance together. Friends make music together. Friends of Jesus love each other just as he commanded (v. 14). Friends share their needs and their gifts, their burdens and their joys. Over the years in the Anglican Communion, we have had the experience of together reconciling the world to Christ in diverse and creative ways. It is what we call mission, which is grounded in the holy and transforming friendship that comes through our common life in Christ.

Finally, we are aware that in our small but intentional gathering, we engaged the practice of Indaba, and experienced the transformational reality that has characterized so much of the life of the Anglican Communion since our last Lambeth Conference. We are anxious to encourage this across the Communion and will be calling on our counterparts to do so in the days ahead.”
